The Concubine of the Lin Family in the Red Chamber

The Jia family has always celebrated every little thing with great fanfare. It has been widely reported that now that Mrs. Jia Zhang is pregnant, the Jia family will set up two tables to celebrate.

Jiazhang originally pushed and pushed, but Jia's mother insisted on this, Jiazhang couldn't disobey the elders' wishes, so she had to agree.It is not the Jia Zhang family's liking to damage the blessings of future generations like this.

The Lin family also accepted the Jia family's post. Lin Jue was not resting that day, so he didn't ask for leave on purpose. Daiyu had just gone to the Spring Festival, and the Jia family wanted to invite them this time. Xiao Linyi went to Jia's mansion to greet Jia's mother.

When Jia Mu heard that Daiyu had come, she was very happy. Since Daiyu was engaged, she seldom went out and walked around. She might not come here for a long time.

Hugging Daiyu's heart and soul and shouting, Jia's mother looked at Daiyu carefully and described, "My Yu'er will reach the age of Ji next year, and after that, she will go out. Is the dowry ready now?"

Daiyu smiled shyly, "Brother has prepared other things early in the morning, and now there are only some embroiderers and furniture that have not been finished. Speaking of which, I have to thank the second wife and Aunt Xue," Daiyu got up and bowed to the two. , "Thanks to cousin Xue's help to find the best red sandalwood from the south, otherwise, with my brother's temperament, it may take a long time to toss."

Aunt Xue knew that Lin Jue entrusted Xue Pan to help find good timber, and when she heard Daiyu thanking her, she quickly waved her hand and said, "It's not worth it, Mr. Lin also gave the money, it's just a waste of time. , we are relatives, we will see each other after we thank you."

Now that Lin Jue is an official of the sixth grade, although he is nothing in this noble Beijing, he is still a celebrity in front of the Holy One.The Xue family is an imperial merchant, and is most familiar with these official matters. It is really rare to have the opportunity to befriend the Lin family now.Besides, Xue Pan has always treated Lin Jue a little differently, so now that he can help Lin Jue, even if he sticks upside down, he will be happy.

Daiyu laughed and said: "Love is love. My elder brother has always been close to cousin Xue, and my third sister often goes to my place. But this red sandalwood is hard to find, and my brother wants a lot. It can be seen that cousin Xue is It took a lot of effort. Aunt Xue really deserves this thank you."

Daiyu is the county lord, and she has always been dignified in front of outsiders, what she said is reasonable, even though Aunt Xue has lived most of her life, she is also sighing, she must accept this thank you, and never say anything about it again.

Daiyu smiled and hugged Lin Yi to show it to Mother Jia, "Look at the old lady, what a wonderful child, although the distance is far away, he looks almost like his elder brother, and now he is his son again." , isn't it fate!"

Mother Jia really couldn't understand Lin Jue. She thought she was a nerd, but later she passed the Jinshi examination, even passed Tanhua high school, entered the Imperial Academy, and became a celebrity in the imperial court.Later, I felt that this was a deliberate attempt to conceal clumsiness, but now she has adopted an heir before she is married. In this way, the marriage that the historian asked her to propose will be difficult to calculate.

Although she was thinking all kinds of things in her heart, Jia Mu didn't show anything on her face. After all, it's not good for the woman to take the initiative in the matter of marriage.Now this matter has not even been mentioned, the Lin family is no more than a step-child, and it really has little to do with the Shi Jia family, how can I take care of this matter.

"It's a child with exquisite eyebrows and eyes, and the Nai'er family will also come to take a look."

Because she wanted to marry the Lin family, but there were only two brothers and sisters in the Lin family, and Mrs. Shi was not very talkative, so she wanted to ask Mother Jia to test it out.It happened that Daiyu also came to Jia's house today, so she came with Mrs. Shi Er.Thinking that before Mother Jia mentioned about Lin Jue's marriage, Daiyu hugged Lin Jue's adoptive heir first, which was really a slap in the face.

The faces of Mrs. Shi and Mrs. Shi are not very good-looking, and the faces of the two girls from the Shi family are also flushed. Daiyu is really surprised that these two wives and girls have also been to her house at that time, and she has never neglected her. How can he put on such a face at this moment.

When Jia's mother looked at it, she knew that she was not good. Daiyu didn't think about it for a while. If she realized it and saw such an attitude, she would probably blame the historian, not to mention whether the Shijia girl could enter the Lin family.Jia's mother hurriedly said, "Is Nai'er's family unwell?" Then she said to the girl from Mrs. Shi's family, "Good boy, help your mother to sit in the side hall. There are fewer people and it's quieter."

Mrs. Shi knew that she shouldn't blame the Lin family. What does it have to do with his family if the Lin family is not a stepchild?Hugh said that there is no marriage discussion now, but it is a marriage negotiation. If Lin Jue adopts the heir, if his family disagrees, the marriage will be ruined, and it still cannot be controlled by the Lin family.

Sighing secretly, Mrs. Shi Xu helped her daughter's hand to stand up, "I'm getting flustered when I'm getting old, and I really don't see many people. I'll go to the side hall to rest and come back later. Auntie, please don't take offense."

Jia Mu also calmed down, and said with a smile: "You don't go out often, I know you are not in good health, our house is not outside, you can rest at ease, and I will call you later after dinner." come over."

Mrs. Shi Er got up and said, "I will also go to see my sister-in-law."

Jia Mu nodded and said, "If it doesn't work, please let me know. The family has invited a female doctor for the birth of Baoyu's family. You can also take a look at some minor symptoms."

Mrs. Shi Er hurriedly responded.

After the two left, the atmosphere was a little awkward for a while, Daiyu also sensed some meaning, but it was hard to speak, so she lowered her head and pretended to be teasing Lin Yi.

After a while, Sister Feng came over and said that the theater troupe was ready, and ladies and gentlemen, please move to the lotus platform.Daiyu didn't want to go, after all, with Lin Yi by her side, such a noisy environment is really not suitable.Jia Mu laughed and said, "It's rare to have such a lively time. Yi'er has his nanny to take care of him, so you can just play with yourself!"

Daiyu glanced at Lin Yi, she was not at ease after all, and decided to leave Nanny Fang to take care of her.Jia Mu said: "Let Yuanyang stay, she is the most appropriate one."

Although Nanny Fang was worried about Lin Yi, she was even more worried about Daiyu. After all, looking at Cai's appearance just now, Jia's mother deliberately matched the Lin and Shi families.After all, my daughter hasn't left the cabinet yet, and I don't see much about these things, I'm afraid I will be deceived by others, so it's better to be by my side.

Quietly pulling La Daiyu's sleeve, Daiyu said: "If so, I will trouble you."

A group of people went to the lotus platform and sat down one after another. Although Mrs. Shi was coming, Jia Mu also called Mrs. Shi to take the second lady, the eldest daughter of the Shi family, and Xiangyun together.Daiyu wanted to sit behind Youshi, but Jia's mother hurriedly held her back, "Daiyu, sit by my side." She also pulled Jiazhang, "It's more comfortable here, you have a body, it's cold in this cold weather." Damn, don't be cold."

Mrs. Wang also said: "Today is a good day for you. We also borrowed your light to listen to the show. If the old lady tells you to sit down, you can sit down. Don't worry about us." Everyone agreed, and Jiazhang dared to sit down .

Because Aunt Xue was there, a special seat was arranged for Baochai at the banquet, right next to Aunt Xue, so that it was convenient for their mother and daughter to talk.Jia Zhang watched coldly, Xue Baochai looked at Aunt Xue with tears in her eyes, but she didn't know what to say, Aunt Xue frowned, and quickly glanced at her.

"From Baoyu's family, which play do you like?"

Mrs. Jia Zhang hurriedly smiled and said: "I really don't understand this. The old lady is looking at which one is better. Help granddaughter-in-law to order it out, so as to save me from making a joke."

Mother Jia knew that what Jia Zhang said was not modest, so she asked Daiyu to order it. Daiyu really couldn't push it, so she ordered "Nezha Naohai" as Jiamu liked.Mother Jia was so happy that she asked Mrs. Shi's second wife, Aunt Xue, and others to play.Several people clicked, and the play started lively.

After a few plays, Mother Jia saw how pitiful and cute they were on the stage, a little Dan and a clown, so she asked to come forward for questioning.Asked about his age, and rewarded him with money, just about to call out, he heard Xue Baochai say from the side: "I look at this little actor, he looks like a human!"

As soon as Jiamu heard that it was not good, she saw that Xiaodan was almost similar to Daiyu, and seeing that she often went out with this clown, she remembered that Daiyu was like this when she was at home in the past. They were inseparable from Baoyu, and just now on a whim, they called them up.Hearing Xue Baochai's words, Qi and blood immediately rushed into his head.

As soon as Xue Baochai finished speaking, Xiang Yun, who was watching over Mrs. Shi's second seat, answered without thinking: "I see that she looks similar to Sister Lin."

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Shi Er didn't care about other things, she stood up first, and slapped Xiangyun backwards with a slap. "You little hoof, you don't have the right to speak!"

Seeing that Jia Mu didn't look like it, she hurriedly stopped Mrs. Shi Er.

Mrs. Shi Er's family is a hereditary military general. She has been able to box and kick since she was a child.She had long been displeased with Xiangyun, ate and drank her own food, and talked bad things about her family everywhere, tarnishing the reputation of historians.Now the historian is planning to get married to the Lin family, even though Lin Jue has brought out a son, the Shi family is angry and has not stopped thinking, but at this time, Shi Xiangyun completely offended Lin Daiyu with a word, how can the second wife of Shi not be angry!

Mrs. Shi Er also hit Xiangyun in a moment of urgency, and stopped now, and said to Daiyu with guilt on her face: "I made my niece and daughter laugh at me. The family is unfortunate, and there is such a little whore. I will give it to Xianyu on her behalf." My niece can't afford it."

Daiyu hurriedly stood up and said, "Mrs. Shi, what are you talking about? Miss Shi thinks that Lin Daiyu is only worthy of being like an actor. Fang said that. It happens often, so what can I blame?"

Hearing Daiyu's words with a gun and a stick, Mrs. Shi Er became more and more ashamed and annoyed. Pointing at the old Gao Xiangyun with swollen cheeks, she said angrily: "You little hoof, hurry up and apologize to your sister Lin! , what kind of person are you, you dare to make up a county monarch, do you think your life is too long?"

In the past, the two wives of the Shi family didn't dare to do anything to Xiangyun because of Jia Mu's face. This was the first time that the second wife of Shi got angry at herself, and she directly taught her a lesson. Shi Xiangyun was completely dumbfounded at the moment. Just crying, let alone apologizing, it is difficult to speak normally.

Jia's mother frowned, but Daiyu didn't intend to let Xiangyun go, "Mrs. Shi said this, I, Lin Daiyu, is only a small county lord, how dare I take other people's lives? Not to mention what a historian is Family status, what kind of family is my family, the daughter of the historian came to my Lin family and demolished my Lin family's house, how dare I, a little sixth-rank county lord, dare to compete with a historian with two lords?"

Mrs. Shi Er was also very angry, and she was not on guard when she spoke for a while, but now she was confronted by Lin Daiyu like this, even though she was angry with Lin Daiyu for being unreasonable, she hated Xiangyun even more.

Jia Mu listened to Daiyu's words, and she didn't look good anymore. After all, the Shi family was her natal family, so it was not easy to look at her like this, so she said, "Daiyu don't say a few words, Mrs. Shi is your elder after all, how can you still talk back?" coming?"
